Synopsis

A new edition of a seminal text in Critical Race Theory.

Since the publication of the third edition of Critical Race Theory: An Introduction in 2017, the United States has experienced a dramatic increase in racially motivated mass shootings and a pandemic that revealed how deeply entrenched medical racism is and how public disasters disproportionately affect minority communities. We have also seen a sharp backlash against Critical Race Theory, and a president who deemed racism a thing of the past while he fanned the flames of racial intolerance and promoted nativist sentiments among his followers. Now more than ever, the racial disparities in all aspects of public life are glaringly obvious.

Taking note of all these developments, this fourth edition covers a range of new topics and events, addressing the rise of a fierce wave of criticism from right-wing websites, think tanks, and foundations, some of which insist that America is now colorblind and has little use for racial analysis and study. Award-winning authors Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic also address the rise in legislative efforts to curtail K–12 teaching of racial history.

Critical Race Theory, Fourth Edition, is essential for understanding developments in this burgeoning field, which has spread to other disciplines and countries. The new edition also covers the ways in which other societies and disciplines adapt its teachings and, for listeners wanting to advance a progressive race agenda, includes new readings and questions for discussion aimed at outlining practical steps to achieve this objective.

Critical Race Theory, Fourth Edition is expertly narrated Karen Chilton, acclaimed narrator of The New Jim Crow.This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

It would be nice to be able to skip some of the citations as they are super long. I read this to understand what CRT is. Given that the authors accomplished their goal. Knowing what has happened in this country with the 2024 elections I would be interested to listen to an updated version of this boo......more

Goodreads review by Eric on October 27, 2024

Overall the book is informative, but honestly, it didn't tell us anything new about CRT that you might actually know. It has good research, but it didn't really make me think I would learn something about CRT and its controversy in the legal system. So there's that and while it doesn't explain anyth......more
